Suleyman Soylu, the interior minister, earlier said that 58 of the 110 persons who were inside the mine at the time of the explosion were either saved by the teams or managed to escape on their own.
One miner was released from the hospital, according to Soylu, while 10 others were still undergoing care in Bartin and Istanbul.
Authorities stated that Turkish prosecutors have begun an inquiry into the event, although preliminary findings suggested that the explosion was brought on by firedamp, a phrase used to describe methane in coal mines.
The incident, which occurred 350 metres (0.2 miles) below ground, was mostly controlled, according to Energy Minister Fatih Donmez, although attempts to isolate the fire and cool it down are still being made.
The greatest mining accident in Turkey’s history occurred in the western town of Soma in 2014, 350 kilometres (217 miles) south of Istanbul, killing 301 miners.
